Some may say he’s the most fertile man in Hollywood as the famous actor is set to become a father for the ninth time. Eddie and his girlfriend, Paige Butcher, 36, will be welcoming their new bundle into the world in May 2016.
“He couldn’t be happier,” says a source close to the Oscar-winner. “Eddie really is a family man and loves all of his children, so he’s so excited about having another one on the way.”
Eddie is already father to Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola and Bella – ranging in ages from 26 to 13 – whom he had with his ex-wife Nicole Murphy. They divorced in 2006 after 22 years of marriage.
He also has three other children from three different women: Eric, 26, by Paulette McNeely; Christian, 25, by Tamara Hood; and a daughter, Angel Iris, 8, by former Spice Girl, Mel B.
Congrats to the happy couple!
